Another question:
A few weeks ago, I cleaned up my mailbox and deleted tons of crap.
However, my dbx files are still the same size they were before a did my clean-up.
Inbox dbx: +400MB
Deleted items dbx: +200MB
There's not much left in my inbox so it can't be + 400MB big. And my deleted items should be 0MB because I got ride of them. ( so I thought)
Is this some kind of automatic back-up feature? |

| Once something is deleted, OE doesn’t get rid of them. You need to compact ALL your folders in order to properly clean out OE. |

| Thanks but how exactly do I "compact ALL my folders" ? |

| Errr, not sure. It’s ages since I used Outlooke Express. Just click a folder and check under “File” or something. Just have a look around, shouldn’t be too hard. |
